Haplotyping-based preimplantation genetic testing reveals parent-of-origin specific mechanisms of aneuploidy formation.

ABSTRACT: Chromosome instability is inherent to human IVF embryos, but the full spectrum and developmental fate of chromosome anomalies remain uncharacterized. Using haplotyping-based preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases (PGT-M), we mapped the parental and mechanistic origin of common and rare genomic abnormalities in 2300 cleavage stage and 361 trophectoderm biopsies. We show that while single whole chromosome aneuploidy arises due to chromosome-specific meiotic errors in the oocyte, segmental imbalances predominantly affect paternal chromosomes, implicating sperm DNA damage in segmental aneuploidy formation. We also show that postzygotic aneuploidy affects multiple chromosomes across the genome and does not discriminate between parental homologs. In addition, 6% of cleavage stage
